Stanley Katz (Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University) Monday, November 8, 2010 / 4:00 PM McCune Conference Room, 6020 HSSB The financial crisis of the past two years looks like its becoming structural, especially in the public universities.  Is privatization the answer, at least for the "elite" state sector in higher education?  If so, what are the implications both for the elites and "the rest"?  A related question is what can/will replace the traditional, if nervous, balance between research and instruction in universities?  How do we balance the growing pressures for greater inclusion of the college age cohort, and the growing  cost of increasingly specialized research?  The post-World War II history of higher education, with the emergence of the multiversity, has been one of more or less successful adaptation of traditional organizational structures.  But haven't we reached the point at which we can no longer add epicycles without destroying the basic structure of higher education? Click here to listen to a recording of Stanley Katz's talk for the IHC's Faculty Forums series. Sponsored by the IHC's Faculty Forums series and the UCSB Faculty Association.

The UC Center for New Racial Studies A group of University of California faculty located at eight different campuses has received a significant grant from the UC system to launch the University of California Center for New Racial Studies (UCCNRS), a Multi-Campus Research Program. The UCCNRS will make its official debut in July 2010 and has been assured of UC system-wide support for five subsequent academic years (until June 2015). Our Steering Committee includes scholars from across the entire system, colleagues working in the social sciences and humanities, area studies, public policy, and legal studies. We hope to establish active linkages on every UC campus, and to offer a wide range of support as well as very broad collaborative and networking capabilities.
